So another Wednesday has come. Another Weight Loss Wednesday. Another Wednesday to tell you I didn’t lose any weight. I stayed the same, which is a small victory, but a victory all the same.

My tip for the week: enjoy the Non-Scale Victories (NSVs). When you are enjoying a healthy lifestyle and making positive changes in your life, there are NSVs all around you.

For example, someone whose hasn’t seen me in awhile came into my office last week. I got up from my desk to grab something for her, and (as my back was turned to her) she said, “Omygosh, Cali Girl! Your ass is not there anymore. Omygosh! How did you do that?”

That, my bloggy friends, is an NSV. Look for them – they are everywhere and just waiting for you take notice and give them a title. They will make youfeel better about yourself and your day instantly.

Are you pants feeling a tad looser? Can you see your collar bone again? Did the construction worker whistle at you, finally? Whatever it is – take it and relish in it! You’ll be glad you did!

I have a new yard duty..standing at the flag pole after school. I think I am there to direct traffic, I am not totally sure. I usually do a cross walk duty. Anyway, this little girl comes up to me yesterday and says, "Have you seen my mommy?" She must have been a first grader. So I reply, "Well, I don't think I have. What is her name and what does she look like?" To which this little one replies, "Well, my mommy is super skinny just like you but her hair is yellow!" OMG! I honestly laughed out loud! NEVER in my life has ANYONE called me superskinny! God love her....even if it was a lie! We take what we can get! Now I wanna see your non existent butt!

About This Cali Girl
